Poland and Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has been dealt an extra blow after his Poland side were eliminated from the World Cup, with Spanish footballing body RFEF confirming he will face a three-match ban.
Lewandowski scored twice in the tournament, once in a group stage victory over Saudi Arabia and once in a last-16 defeat against reigning champions France. He also missed a penalty in Poland's opener, a goalless draw against Mexico at Stadium 974.
Barcelona's season will get back underway on December 31, with a derby against Espanyol in LaLiga. Their top scorer won't be involved, though, with RFEF confirming the punishment heading his way following a red card sustained before the mid-season break.
